EFF Submits Comments on FRT to Commission on Civil Rights
Briefly

In our submission, we that there should be a ban on governmental use of FRT and strict regulations on private use because (1) is not reliable enough to be used in determinations affecting constitutional and statutory rights or social benefits; (2) is a menace to social justice as its errors are far more pronounced when applied to people of color, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and other marginalized groups; (3) threatens privacy rights; (4) chills and deters expression; and (5) creates information security risks.
Even if FRT was accurate, or at least equally inaccurate across demographics , it severely impacts our privacy and security. We cannot change our face, and we expose it to the mass surveillance networks already in place every day we go out in public.
The government should ban its own use of FRT, and strictly limit private use, to protect us from the threats posed by FRT.
